My style is true-to-life with soft tones and rich colors. I embrace the color the world offers, and give it a richness that gives a luxurious and timeless feeling. I aim for natural, creamy skin tones so you'll look exactly how you do (no desaturation or yellow/green looking skin tones here!)
My approach is very relaxed and natural. I like to think of my work as the perfect blend of candid moments and traditional photos - ya know the ones where you're both smiling real big because you just got married!! I incorporate movement and fun prompts to showcase your personalities into your photos. While I do believe that the best photos come from those little in-between candid moments, I will gently direct you when I need to, move distracting objects out of the shot, and prioritize capturing your day as authentically and intentionally as I can.

"Sam was an incredible choice for capturing our day. Not only are the photos amazing, but she was also a huge help to me in the planning process. She helped with timeline, sorting through shot lists, last minute reminders about what to bring and organize for the day of and a whole lot of peace of mind!...She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera right away. She captured so many beautiful moments and it was SO hard to narrow down a small number to share. I will always look back on our day so thankful for Sam’s creativity and talent!"
Leah & Matt
"...We couldn’t have been anymore pleased with her work and the beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. Sam was so sweet and attentive to everything on not only our special day but the months leading up. If you want someone who takes amazing photos, is very responsive, and is your own personal hype women, then I would highly suggest Sam! She even sent us a little sneak peak a day after the wedding so we could share with our family and friends. Thank you so so much for everything and we are so thankful you were apart of our wedding day and captured the love me and my husband share"
Victoria & Jordan

As a wedding photographer, I believe that all love is beautiful, powerful, and worthy of celebration. I’m deeply honored when couples trust me to capture their connection, and I hold that trust close to my heart. Your love—no matter who you are or who you love—is something I support and celebrate fully. I strive to create a safe and open space where everyone feels valued, respected, and seen exactly as they are.
Your love story deserves to be told with the utmost care and respect, and I’m here to honor that in every frame. Love is love here!
Your love is welcome here
timeless, sophisticated photography that tells your story
Frequently Asked Questions
YAY! The first step is to inquire with information about your wedding date and location. If I am available, I will send you detailed pricing information and get more details about your vision and plan. We can do this over email, in-person or video chat! If you decide you would like to move forward with booking, I will send a contract for you to review and sign. Once the contract is signed and non-refundable retainer is paid, you are good to go!
Yes! I do offer a second photographer as an add-on to any collection. I can help go over whether or not you will need one for your wedding. But rest assured, I am 100% comfortable working alone and sometimes prefer it if you don't want one!
As you probably know, each photographer has a specific editing style that is true to them. Because of this, I do not alter or change my editing style. I consider myself a true to color photographer, so if you are looking for light & airy or someone more moody, I can definitely provide recommendations of amazing photographers in those categories!
Turnaround time for regular sessions is 2-3 weeks and weddings are 8-10 weeks. This time may vary depending on time of year or busy season. For weddings and elopements, a 50+ photo sneak peak is sent out within 72 hours.
99% of my couples are not comfortable in front of the camera - that's not only okay but it's normal! That's a huge part of the reason I build relationships with each of my clients to ensure I'm a friendly and comforting face on your wedding day. I'm here to help you relax, to have fun, & help you enjoy each moment.
